This only true for the virtual bus (vdev).

So unplugging a device which devargs have been passed via the command
line is implicitly removing the command line parameter? This is a
surprising side-effect and it sound wrong to do. What happens if the
device is getting replugged?

It seems to me that you want to make the hotplug add functionality
behave like a force attach. You can achieve this by calling
rte_eal_devargs_add/parse before calling into hotplug add.
